Lots of great stuff, but the best news of all is.....
Q: Also, will there be a preload for Steam version? If so, when?
A: yes, might be wrong (sorry), but likely TODAY













Q: will there be weapon combinations in tw2, and if so can they be mixed in with other commands? i.e. combo part 1 -> parry -> combo part 2?
A: oh yeah, you bet! Just wait and try - the way you phrased your question tells me you're gonna love TW2.
Q: In Witcher 1, the thing that struck me the most was Geralt's swordplay. It was so fluid, like a dance. Can we expect the same from Witcher 2?
A: we've worked with the same stuntment this time, so animations are motion-captured with the same quality again. Also, for the cutscenes we used professional cinematic actors.
Q: will Geralt start with the equipment he had in the Witcher imported save? and if yes, which items will that be?
A: If you import your save you will carry over some of your items. For example Raven's armor. There will be also some other benefits coming from importing savegames but I don't want to spoil anything. Last but not least - IT'S NOT OBLIGATORY. The game is a stand-alone and plays perfectly for anyone who didn't get a chance to play the previous part.
Q: What are the gameplay hours like?? According to previews i hear the prologue was itself 4-6 hours long, and first game had 6 chapters i think, and game was quite long, judging by the internet rave i think u have implemented at least 12 chapters.... and since its bigger i wanna know how much time will i be living the Witcher world. [the time me and my buddies spent discussing the various different stories and decision will be even more]
A: We're estimating around 40h playthrough for main storyline. But that SHOULD be doubled or tippled... for the non-linearity.
Q: Will the other DLC packs that are not a bonus to those who bought the game be available for download or packs.
A: Let me announce that all our DLCs will be FREE. All of them. If anything will be for purchase, those will be expansion packs. First DLC (side-quest called "Troll Trouble") airs together with the game release.
Q: If u saying that DLC is free, it means what's on offer at amazon will be free for those who bought from gamestop, digital or retail?
A: No, I mean other DLCs - to be released from now on. For example Mysterious Merchant Pack (specific for GameStop) is for GameStop only now.
Q: Any plans for native 16:10 support?
A: Yeah, we'd love to - in one of the updates.
Q: One thing i have been dreading for quite a while now is the voice-actor of geralt, it IS the same as from the first game......right?
A: Geralt's voice remained unchanged.
Q: In the demo hands on with gamespot, i saw you guys were playing TW2 on a xbox controller? will it have proper integration for gamepads from all major brands?
A: X360 controller works well out of the box. Tested.
<INTERMISSION> TW2 IS PC NOW, BUT WE PROMISE TO TRY TO PUT IT ON CONSOLES! </INTERMISSION>
Q: How much did Clint's Man-With-No-Name persona influence Geralt's bad-assery this time around?
A: and how much did Geralt influence Clint, huh?!
Q: Advanced graphics options???,
A: we're PC title, right? So yeah,
over 20 uber-detailed advanced graphical settings in the launcher. And even the brand new graphical mode (really power-demanding at the moment) called "Uber Sampling" (with the umaluts, if you like).
Q: Will the Uber Sampling you just mentioned be able to run on a 2600K and Dual 580¨s ?
A: would have to check with the programmers, but likely yeah.
Q: DX11 support??
A: We're DX9 at the moment.
